However, it more likely refers to Ataman Grigoriev, who was, at times, affiliated with the Green Armies (Zelionye/Zelyonye/Zelenye Armii), and thus was occasionally thought to be Ataman Zeliony. The rest of the intertitles refer to Ataman Grigoriev. **Most likely the Chernyakhiv/Chernyakhov District in Zhitomir district of Volun region, transliterated as Tshernikhoff. ***Budionowtzy derives from Semyon Budyonny, a commander in the Red Army, and, more specifically, a leader in the Red Cavalry during the Russian Civil War.
